Answer: D) 50%
Explanation:
Let original length = x and original breadth = y.
Original area = xy.
New length = x/2 and New breadth=3y
New area = 32xy32xy
Therefore, Increase in area = New area-original area = 32xy−xy=12xy32xy-xy=12xy
Therefore, Increase % = increase in area original area*100=(12xyxy/)*100=50increase in area original area*100=12xyxy*100=50 %
